The CC6 was the centre speaker from the 600 Series 2 range, tonally S2 and S3 are very similar Kevlar mid's, aluminium tweeter etc. It should be a good match for your suggested fronts . I think you will find you have not wasted your money. I would suggest you listen to the 602's also over the 601's if you can afford the difference you may find they are a better speaker, the 603 is a great speaker although the S2 was better IMO, but it needs good amplification to get the best out of it or else the bass can be a bit slow, the plus point is you will not need a sub straight away.

If you listen to a lot of music I would *not* suggest buying a cheap sub, B&W ASW675 has a lot of good reviews and is on my list as my next upgrade but it is not cheap, the BK XLS200 has also been reviewed well on the forums if the B&W is out of your range, if you give your listening preference and a price band a thread on the sub forum will throw up more suggestions

I did not know they did a 600, only aware or 601 > 605, I can only assume the 600 is smaller that the 601 again. I would get out and have a listen see what you think is best for the money, WRT the CC6 yes it is probably tonally a little different to the LCR600 but that difference in reality is gong to be quite small, IMO the CC6 is still a good speaker. Take it in with you when you go for a demo of the 600's and see for your self whether you think it is worth spending the extra £150 or so, I think I know the answer.

You need to tell us what your budget is for a sub.

Make sure you listen to the 602 against the 600, I know it is a lot more but you may think it is worth it, I would also try and listen to a LCR60 while you are there with your CC6 but I guess you will not notice much difference and would be better off spending the money on front's/sub or decent stands.

Not familiar with the sub and as much as I like B&W (can you tell ) if it is just for movies you can probably do better for that sort of money, I would put a thread on the sub forum and ask for alternatives.
